This is so nice for us that live down under. Who wants HOT Plum Pudding when it's so hot here?! This is special. Just for us folk that still want xmas pud, without heating the house up. Everyone loves it and asks for the recipe so often I thought I would share it with all of you. Enjoy!!

My husband and I emigrated to New Zealand over 40 years ago as newly weds, and this recipe was one of the few I brought with me. It still fills me with nostalgia when I make it, I always helped my mother to make it in early November. I make it as early as possible to let it mature. It's still written on the original paper. My 4 children and 8 grandchildren look forward to it every Christmas.
